Make sure cable box is connected to receiver via HDMI and if you have surround, set to 5.1, 7.
My sound is processed through my receiver. It's a 5.1 setup and whenever I watch movies on blue ray it sounds better than sitting in a movie theater. My wife hates it when I turn it up and the subwoofer has shite rattling in the house. My set up consist of a Direct TV for cable, a PS3 for streaming and watching blue ray movies, an Onkyo receiver to process all video and sound, and Amazon Echo to voice control everything.

What I mean is make sure it is connected to your receiver via HDMI, and make sure the DirectTV box is configured to send 5.1 to your receiver.
It simply won't sound as good as Blu-Ray regardless. The audio and video on cable/satellite and usually streaming are compressed to save bandwidth.
Your Blu-Ray audio is not compressed so it sounds better.

How much of a difference is it sound wise blueray vs direct tv?
I'm moving in a couple of months and will be getting a new receiver, but it's so old it doesn't have hdmi! But using optical cable for both there really isn't close as far as quality goes.
